the difference between him and those other guys
so you know that i cashed in my Get Out of Hell Free card (see Hello, My Name is…post) and headed to the Valley of the Sun. okay, well maybe you didn’t know that last part, but i basically left a craptacular old life and started over. although i owe The Company for helping out with that, Chief (not his real name) was the main reason for getting out. Chief is a total-10-on-Hotness-Richter-Scale 6′3 native-american dude, ex-Navy SEAL, and the owner of Black Hawk Protection Agency. im his client and he’s my protector until I turn 18.
there are companies out there that offer personal protection or security for individuals; people who will analyze and protect someones personal business,home or property. Making sure someone is safe in their surroundings. Of course, there are also private investigators that can provide services for the individual (think spousal or matrimonial stuff) or a small business. but thats not how Black Hawk Protection Agency works. it started with Chief, then the guys from his SEAL unit joined after their tour was up, and now he’s in charge of almost ten guys.
and they protect children, ages 4 to 19.
children born of famous actors, actresses, dignitaries, billionaries...blah, blah, you get what im sayin.
in celise’s words, “hes the vaughn to your sidney.” (Can we say, too much Alias, boys and girls?)
I never watched the show--and i know she misses it like hell--but it was one of her favorites and she explained what she meant.
So, yeah. I like it. it makes sense.

next stop...spring break
o.m.g. i cannot wait til spring break. 16th-27th. not doing anything special during that time, mind you, im just ready blow to the popsicle stand called CSA. really. im so annoyed with this one girl, Sweet Tooth (because she's named after a piece of candy), i may just have to take her out with my taser.

lost to the system....and found in dry heat
the Prompt O' the Day is brought to you by sunday scribblings: 'lost'
ok, so you pretty much know my history. if you didn't read the last prompt on the topic of trust, you can do so by checking out the post below.
i was in the foster care system for many, many years. yeah, i know im only 16, but being in the system can make you feel like 20 in dog years.
the last set of parents (not-so-fondly referred to as The FCFH) i got were a trip and a half.
to the point where i ratted them out the feds. cant tell you why, youll just have to read all about it on Oct 23rd. needless to say, they were involved in some illegal activities and The Company wanted to acquire my special skills (read: natural curiosity). i told them i would do it. on one condition.
they had to lose me.
take me off the grid.
erase my existence.
my condition was freedom. from the system. id like to think that my social worker got an ominous phone call where The Company said something like "Forget about O.C.* or else". she probably thinks i was wisked away into the witness protection program.
and i guess, in a way, it would seem like that. except im not running from anyone and no one wants to hunt me down and kill me.
far as i know.
no, i was given a new life, allowed to choose a new name, and picked Dry Heat, AZ as my new home. i did that for a reason, too, and ill tell you all about it my next post.
as far as im concerned, getting lost is the best thing that ever happened to me.
*These initials do not stand for Orange County, people, but represent the name I went by during my time with The FCFH.
